Music hadn’t really inspired us with new talent until we discovered Miss Janelle Monae.
‘Archandroid’ is an explosion of fusion which plays like a theatrical. It’s extremely difficult to summarise the quality of this album. The only thing that can be said is that we feel that nothing has been as inspiring or as amazing since we first heard ‘The Love Below’ by Andre 3000. This album is absolutely perfect; a collection of songs delivered by a genius.
It stretches however far beyond a collection of songs. The multitude of genre’s the she glazes over is dizzying, with Jazz, Funk, Rock, Rnb, Folk, electro etc, just to name a few.
There isn’t even a point in spelling out what our favourite track is, because to be completely honest, EVERY song is top notch. It is 100% befitting that Janelle Monae is receiving the success that she is, simply because it is more than well deserved.
Every track blends into each other seamlessly, making it seem as though your listening to a movie rather than a collection of songs. We must give a ‘hat’s off’ to the higher than stella production on ‘Archandroid’ as well.
With her beautiful smooth wide ranging vocals, if there ever was an album that you needed to buy that you didn’t have in your collection already, it would be this one!
Here is a random selection to include for your listening pleasure, but do yourself a favour and purchase the whole album…you will NOT be disappointed!
